This value quantifies the equilibrium between the undissolved solid and its dissolved ions in solution. The higher the Ksp, the more soluble the compound, and conversely, a lower Ksp indicates limited solubility, as seen here for silver sulfate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"852\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-1220.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-1220.jpeg 852w, https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-1220-250x300.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-1220-768x923.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solid Ag2SO4 is added to water at a certain temperature and stirred until equilibrium is reached. 4.84 g\/L grams dissolved.
